Motherhood

"No occupation in this world is more trying to soul and body than the care of young children. What patience and wisdom, skill and unlimited love it calls for. God gave the work to mothers and furnished them for it, and they cannot shirk it and be guiltless.” ― Isabella MacDonald Alden (The Aunt of Grace Livingston Hill)

From "On The Banks of Plum Creek"

"After Laura and Mary had washed and wiped the dishes, swept the floor, made their bed, and dusted, they settled down with their books. But the house was so cozy and pretty that Laura kept looking up at it."

- Laura Ingalls Wilder

Human Frailty of the Godly Soul

Charles Spurgeon:

"The life of Luther might suffice to give a thousand instances,and he was by no means of the weaker sort. His great spirit wasoften in the seventh heaven of exultation, and as frequently onthe borders of despair. His very deathbed was not free from tempests, and he sobbed himself into his last sleep like a greatly wearied child."

From "The Little Preacher" (p. 146)

"As for her, like most women, she had but one ambition. To be a good wife and a good mother, and to be beloved by her husband and children, was all she asked. [She was] a busy, affectionate, cheerful little housewife, whose voice would never be heard in the streets, but whose memory would always live in a few faithful hearts."

- Elizabeth Prentiss, 1800's.

Housewife:A married woman who stays home. This is a lifelong vocation. It is an old-fashioned term, and something to be proud of.Not a "domestic engineer." Not a "home manager."An old fashioned housewife, who keeps the home,and abides there.- Mrs. White

Ever spend time browsing at your local farmer's market? There are all kinds of garden-fresh fruits and vegetables. Sometimes it can be overwhelming and you might wonder what you can make with such a variety of produce.

Fresh from the Farmstand will give you plenty of ideas for using those fresh garden items! Inside you'll find 6 sections of recipes. Here is a small sampling:

Each recipe in this collection is sent in by a Gooseberry Patch reader. This creates a fun variety of great cooking ideas. The book is packed with little quotes, ideas and pretty drawings to encourage the home cook.

One of my favorite recipes in this book is on page 204. It is for "Never-Fail Pie Crust" and makes 12 single crusts! It looks easy to follow and is carefully explained. I can just imagine making homemade chicken pot pies, apple pies and lemon meringue pies with this recipe.

One random winner we be selected on Monday, June 11, 2012. (U.S. Entries only.) If I am unable to reach the winner within 48 hours, an alternate winner will be selected. Your entry is only valid if you include a way for me to contact you.

How about my favorite summer time dinner instead? I love to have a meal of fresh from the field corn-on-the-cob dripping with butter, sliced fresh tomatoes still warm from the sun and zucchini cakes (a veggie form of crab cakes). I am drooling just from the anticipation of meals to come!

Thank you for such a delightful give-a-way! Gooseberry Patch has been around a long time and I have always loved their recipes and whimsical artwork in their books. My favorite summertime treat is sliced strawberries on top of chunks of fresh pound cake with fresh whipped cream...then add a sprinkle of cinnamon. Yum!

Tuna Salad! I add fresh berries, or melon, or oranges - any fruit that is available in the summer. Same with vegetables. I add carrots, cukes, green beans any available fresh vegetable. It changes the whole salad.
